Description
Orlando, a beautifully designed clothbound edition, is a fantastical and enchanting novel about a man who defies convention. Born into a life of privilege, he longs for passion, adventure, and fulfillment, leading him to traverse the centuries in search of his ideal life. Along the way, he encounters a Russian princess and a dashing explorer, but his journey is not without its challenges. As he navigates the complexities of history and identity, Orlando's form shifts, blurring the lines between man and woman. This novel, a wry commentary on gender and history, is also a light-hearted exploration of the human experience. With its unique blend of fantasy and realism, Orlando is a captivating read that invites the reader to join him on his journey. Edited by Brenda Lyons with an introduction and notes by Sandra M. Gilbert, this Penguin edition features a beautiful design that complements the timeless story within.
